Choosing a white label publishing platform for your online documents can have many benefits for your business. Read on to learn more about digital publishing in white label and the solutions offered by Calaméo.
What is white label publishing?
White label, or private label, describes a product that does not have branding attached to it before use. This can include the company name, product name, logo and any other features that connect it to the maker. In most cases, users of white label products then add their own branding to make it their own.
A white label publishing platform lets users upload and share documents without outside branding and advertising. For example, Calaméo’s digital publishing platform offers a white label feature for professional users. When you publish in white label, Calaméo logos do not appear on the publication viewer. In addition, viewer menus don’t display third-party content.
The end result? No mention of Calaméo anywhere inside the viewer.
Why should I choose a publishing platform with white label?
There are many good reasons to select a white label publishing platform for your online documents.
Discretion
First, you remove any distractions from the publication viewer and keep all the focus on your documents. Rather than call attention to tools your business uses, white label provides a discreet solution.
Rebranding
Next, the best white label publishing platforms will allow you to rebrand the document viewer as your own. Why settle for a neutral reading experience when you can take your publications to the next level? Plus, adding your company’s own logo is simple with Calaméo. Thanks to our awesome Elements feature, it only takes a few clicks to upload and apply a logo to your digital publications.
Flexibility
In fact, the biggest advantage of a white label publishing platform is flexibility. Because the solution is meant to be adapted to your needs, look for tools that enable you to customize your publications. For instance, Calaméo’s custom theme feature lets you define practically every detail of the viewer, from color and design to languages and behaviors. Go ahead—make it your own!
